I was unconvinced that Latin would be necessary for my kids to learn, until I saw a sample of Dwane Thomas’ teaching (it made me laugh!) Visual Latin just plain rocks. Yep, who knew Latin could be funny?
Let’s get the details out here and I will tell you why I think it is worth a try for your family too. Here is the product information.
Part of the hesitation with Latin, is the boredom factor. This truly is unlike any other program you might have seen.
The day before we started school this year, my kids both were decidedly UNexcited to do Latin.
After the first video, it is suddenly the class they can’t wait to do! The teacher is down-to-earth, funny, and delightfully imperfect in his delivery.
Don’t let that fool you into thinking it is not a serious course. It is. The people at Compass Cinema are focused on making you successful.
This is a great program for Latin!
Their website is clear in defining how to extend this into a high school credit course.
The PDF’s are easy to find and print out, and there is personal support with this company. They answered my emails and questions quickly.
You can either buy the DVD’s or download the lessons. They even give the option of downloading just sections of the lessons if that is more cost-effective to break it down.
There is a Visual Latin II that we’ll continue with next year.
I do hope you won’t be intimidated by Latin, because with a course like this available the drudgery is taken out, and the excitement for learning is put in. Did I mention the videos are funny?
Just making sure…and nope, not sponsored 🙂 Consider this is as a fun elective that doesn’t require lots of prep! You got this mama!
